Sorry. I forgot to answer the implicit question there. This is the only
place where we may find ourselves reading directly from a socket into
the page cache, so that's why we don't need xs_flush_bvec() in the
other branches. The kvec entries in struct xdr_buf should always point
to private memory buffers that can't be mapped into user space.
